Hi: I gig with the Tyros2 and the Korg PA800, my backup is a new PSR S900. Why?, because as a former organist I am so used to have available 2 or more keyboards while performing. As example, I use the arranger in the T2 and have diferent sounds in the PA800 besides the sound on the RH in the T2, for the next song I may use a style in the PA800 and just sounds in the T2 besides the 800.
Also is a great source if you have to play more songs let's say foxtrot, I have a GREAT selection, not only in the T2 also in the PA800. Makes it more FUN !!for me and my audience, if someone requested a song that I played in the previous set, I may play it in the other board, so, it may be the same song, but it will not sound the same.

Cass, I assume you mean performing rig (as opposed to studio). I currently use just the Nord C1 but plan to add the Roland Sonic Cell as extra voices once it starts shipping. In the studio I have scaled back to Tyros 2 and PA1x Pro for fun and as compositional sketchpads, plus Motif ES, Triton, Roland VP550, and a Roland A70 w/expansion board controlling a bunch of softsynths (which I rarely use) for serious recording. I'm picking up a digital piano (Behringer EuroGrand) for the rec room but that's just for fun and for the grandkids to bang on (at least that's what I told my wife). It has pretty stiff action and should hopefully help me regain some finger strength and stave off arthritis (plus, they're really cheap ). It also has a two-track sequencer, good for quick-and-dirty solo piano recordings. I've got a bunch of other keyboards and modules back in the storage room but they'll likely stay there 'till I die and my wife tosses them into a dumpster (and possibly me along with them). There's an acoustic piano in the living room but my wife is the only one that plays it. Uh, have I gone WAY past answering your question, yet? chas

I like to use multiple keyboards. At my country club job, it's a B-3 with an old mirco-Korg on the top and a Rhodes on my right hand.
At another week-end house job, it's an MS-60 and a controller with an old Yamaha tone generator (that equipment-both places- stays on site). Alwways use two boards, again, because of years of playing a B exclusively.
Still have the GW-7, G-70, Sh-201, Midjay and controller in boxes, along with an XB-2 I bought years ago and never used. I'm going to take the time to get up to speed on this equipment before the end of the year and use it-in some combination-in 2008.
